ST>Sure.... Whatever you say Michiel <g>

>> PS> to me, it looks like the shop is related to Fidonet)

ST>I sincerely appreciate all the publicity you've given my site.
Great, my fee for the advertising is $US45 for each new user :)

 ST> I've got 3 new users since last night who specifically stated
Fantastic, that makes $US135 I will be expecting in the mail soon,
thanks, it will natrually go towards the running costs of my BBS.

 ST> they read these posts in this echo and thought they would check
 ST> it out.  I've also sold a few mugs, stickers and three shirts --
 ST> each with the F I D O T E L logo on it (not the "Fidonet" logo as
 ST> you would have people believe).
Where did you get the idea that I was trying to make people believe
that you were raising funds for Fidonet, and selling Fidonet bits &
pieces to promote Fidonet ?

I might even have to make a web site along the same lines as yous, of
course I would have to have a different shop logo, perhaps a cat with
a hard drive :)

ST> This is really important too because it assists with the
ST>cost recovery aspect of running the BBS.
And the $US135 will help with the running costs of my BBS.

ST>Because of the publicity you've provided I'll give you the same deal I've
ST>offered Paul on my merchandise.  Heck --  I'll give you one better.. "20%"
ST>off anything in the store Michiel <g>.
You must have a very good mark up to be offering 20%off anything in
the store :)

ST>Perhaps this might be a good article for Fidonews?!?

ST>"Cost recovery for compensating expenses for running a BBS".
ST>Pros: Assists sysops with extra phone lines, bandwidth, software
ST>registrations, hardware, and attorneys to deal with the cons...
ST>Cons: Accusations from other Fidonet members for infrindging on policy or
ST>copyright infringements or turning a BBS into a commercial service

don't forget trademark infringements :)

 cya later,

 Paul
